Shell Cemetery — Attraction in Krabi Province

We were in krabi in October 2022 . It was the monsoon season there but we didn't want to miss out, hence we rented a bike and ride to shell cemetery also known as fossil beach. To go in the beach you have to pay an entrance fee. As it was raining we didn't go in the beach but make use of our time to explore around the area.It was definitely worth it. There were lots of souvenirs shops, lots of trinkets and magnificent shells being sold and a few eateries were opened whilst we were there. Many of the shop vendors are Muslims and can speak Malay in the utara version. We gots some lovely souvenirs for the family. The shop vendor was very friendly and smiley. They don't do hard selling and they are very helpful. My hubby needed to perform his prayers and asked if there was a musollah in that area.

While it is what it says it is, the price for foreigners is too high at 200baht. We spent about 30-40 min there, and the fossils are very small, worn, or otherwise hard to see. It is very cool that it is natural, it does just look like concrete slabs. We were excited for the fossils and educational aspects of it, but there was not much to learn from that wasn’t in Thai. We thankfully did see the second viewing area before leaving which made it two stars. If we were able to pay the Thai price of 40 baht I could see it being 4 stars, and knowing it would be...
